WRITING NAMES AND TITLES
- Titles are not used with first names or middle names; they have to be used with surnames or full names:
Prof. Taiwo✖️
Prof. Moshood ✖️
Prof. Salisu ✔️
Prof. Taiwo Moshood Salisu ✔️ - Conventionally, first names should be written before surname/family name. This is why it is called first name:
Taiwo Moshood Salisu ✔️
Salisu Taiwo Moshood ✖️
However, if the surname has to be written before the first name, it must be separated by a comma or capitalised:
Salisu, Taiwo Moshood ✔️
SALISU Taiwo Moshood ✔️
